Guys i am looking as some you may know for a set of rims i am a fussy bastard and can't decide what to get. I am currently looking at a set of Buddy Club P1's in silver or bronze. they will be 17 x 8 and 17 x 9.

So my main questions are

I would like to know what other wheels you guys think are nice (hopefully you will have similar taste as me ;) but no chrome and they have to be either 17's or 18's)

In the buddy clubs which would you think goes better with black the bronze or silver

if i do get 17 x 8 and 17 x 9's what is the actual width tyres i should put on them eg 235/50/17 and 265/50/17 or can i actually go 45's ???

last but not least does anyone in canberra actually have these rims ??? i wouldnt mind seeing what they actually look like on the car.

ultimatly i know its my choice etc but i would like to know others thoughts :)

White looks good on black, but i reccomend the P1s in the Bronze, or even Gun metal.

As for tyre size, you can go down to 40 man, i had 40 profile on my 17s on the last car.

I run 35s on the 18s i have, they are 18x10 and 18x9 with 255/35 and 265/35 just for a reference.

You can probably stretch 235/40 onto the back, but i'd say go for something around 245/45 perhaps. But ask your tyre shop, they'll be able to say for sure what you can and cannot fit.

Go Black - you never go back. Enkie for the race/track look or Spoked 18"'s. I'll get the name & pics of the sort I'm thinking of. BrB.

Chromes for Class - Black for Track

Schmick - Check these out http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/classifie...=1&cat=3&page=5

Black, Advan Super Racing three spoke, running 245 front and 255 rear Yokohama AVS 102's, work just jim dandy.

There is only one colour in the known universe = black, all other perceived colours are just shades of black.

hey sinista and others cheers for the replys :( small drama with those ones you showed me

Selling for $3000 with rubber....

budget is for a max of about $2400ish but hopefull less. with the budy clubs i should hopefully be able to get them for around $1400 @ my door then a set of st115's or something grippy to keep me happy we will see as i said :) their was a set of 19 x 8 i think lenso muse out at trojan motorsport which looked nice :)

I have a set of rims that came with my skyline - I fitted standard R34 rims and the old ones are sitting around. (How is the skyline going Nathan?).

They are Advan RG 17x8.5 and 17x9.5. I didnt think they looked good on a white R34 but they may suit another combination.

The rims are lightweight and would be ideal track-day rims.

Anyone interested.

Rob

lol andrew typical of you bigger is better :( hehe na i dont want 19's for a couple of reasons

1. the ride will be bumpy as hell = homo

2. i refuse to pay $500 for a tyre :)

rob thanks for the offer but not what i am after :) though if you want to part with your gt-t rims let me know :)

local yes sydney no ;)

i know they will be a little wider but they shouldnt be more than $300 a piece i would think + i can generally bs alot to get the price down hehe

I was going to edit my post and say "but most Canberra shops are a rip off anyway" but ill just post again :D

Be wary also, rumor going around is Falken have stopped production of their motorsport tyres (the Azenis range, including ST115, ST215, RS-V04 etc). Tempe couldnt get me any Azenis in the size I needed, and another place also confirmed Falken has "temporarily" ceased production.

But if they have them, its usually $60 or so for delivery down by overnight courier... awesome service :D

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
